Beef Tenderloin & Gorgonzola Bites

This may be the hors d'oeuvre that puts all others to rest. It just doesn't get any better: juicy beef tenderloin, perfectly seasoned, is topped with creamy piquant Gorgonzola cheese and wrapped with smoky, applewood bacon. Incredibly rich and beautifully balanced, it will definitely make the other appetizers jealous. 18 pieces. Better order two!

Preheat oven to 350°F degrees. Remove from plastic trays and place on baking pan 1/2" apart. Cooking times may vary depending on the number of pieces and oven variations. Rotate pan if necessary. All meat, poultry, and seafood items must be cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F using a calibrated thermometer. Conventional oven: 5-8 minutes and convection oven reduce cooking time by 1/3.
